The councilor of the Torrox City Council (Malaga) who participated in a plenary by video conference from a deckchair on the beach has rectified and, 24 hours after assuring that she would not return the 100 euros that the Commonwealth of the Costa del Sol-Axarquía pays for This work ensures that he gives up the money and apologizes for the discomfort that may have been generated by an action that falls within his right to family and work conciliation.

Paola Moreno (PP), responsible for the Treasury, Personnel, Police and Municipal Radio in the aforementioned municipality, assured this newspaper that she did not intend to reject the diet: "Those 100 euros do not take anything away from me", but not accepting them would be like "giving the reason for the left-wing groups that champion a matriarchal policy, who claim to defend the reconciliation of women, and who are now attacking me. "

But this Wednesday, after a complicated Tuesday in which he tried to explain his vision of what happened, his party has issued a statement in which Moreno changes part of his argument and recognizes certain flaws. First of all, and after the "controversy" generated, he has informed that he is going to request the supra-municipal entity to resign to receive the estimated amount for his participation in the plenary session.

The note, promoted by the popular to try to alleviate the image deficit caused by this controversy, is an expiation exercise in which the councilor conveys her public apologies "for the discomfort that may have generated" and ensures that "this situation does not it will be repeated in the future. "

The torroxeña mayor, who reveals a more restrained tone, has wanted to emphasize the respect she feels towards the plenary session of the Commonwealth of the Costa del Sol-Axarquía and the residents of the region, to subsequently defend its "high degree of commitment".

The events that triggered this controversy occurred last Monday. Paola Moreno explained that she had promised her three children that they would go to the beach the first day that she could after the confinement of the population. He did so and, at 5:00 p.m., the plenary session began, "my husband stayed with them playing on the shore and I went online," because "it was my responsibility."

"The background was a little idyllic" and "the forum was not adequate," he acknowledged this medium, but "I can only see my head and a little the strap -of the swimsuit-". On his social networks, he insisted that he had fulfilled his obligations, "whatever the wallpaper," and that he was exercising his "right to reconciliation" of family and personal life.

The councilor stated that she gave the face, but that other participants in the plenary session by videoconference did not activate the camera or position her towards the ceiling, so her attendance could be questioned.

The socialists, however, described Moreno's action as "the height of impudence" . "We do not doubt that from the sun will be looking for all the means that families, freelancers and companies in the municipality need to face this crisis derived from Covid-19," they added in an internet publication, to which they added that "there is to have little respect for public institutions and the people they represent "to attend a telematic plenary session" in a bathing suit from a deckchair on the beach ".
